We'll find out soon enough eh.

So with all this horrible bollocks happening re End Times/9th Edition fluff butchery, I'm pretty much beating the retreat into Mordheim, where all the things I like about the Warhammer background are preserved by virtue of the fact GW can't bloody touch it any more. I want to work on terrain and boards, a mixture of blank boards with unfixed terrain and "feature" boards with fixed terrain for major landmarks, but I'm struggling to get a proper sense of scale since the only proper map of Mordheim doesn't have one. Luckily, being set in a time before GW pissed all over everything, actual history is still useful, hence this thread; does anyone know where I can find maps of the type described in the threat title? Given how Mordheim is described it was probably a medium-large city for the times, so probably 25-30K population similar to Lübeck or Augsburg circa 1500.

I tried googling it up myself but didn't get very far, hopefully someone can help.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?
I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.

"Your society's broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No, lets blame the people with no power and no money and those immigrants who don't even have the vote. Yea, it must be their fething fault." - Iain M Banks

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

This one is still a bit large in scale, but at least it gives you an idea of how big the blocks are.
Cologne, Germany:


This might be a better scale reference, but it isn't a German city.
Milan, Italy:
